It's Thanksgiving in the US.

So, whatcha drinking?

My spouse loves Brun's FRV100 so that is on the table. I'll probably also pour one of the Ferme de L'Yonnière (Jérome Forget) perries.
 
Out at a restaurant with family. 2017 Peay Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir was decidedly young but fresh and light on the palate.

Had an assortment of non-wino extended family members over, and did pretty well with 2020 Clisson, NV Gatinois Brut Tradition and 2021 Bedrock Old Vine Zinfandel. My first time with Bedrock and it did not disappoint on the fresh-interpretation-of-Zinfandel front.
 
Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard Santa Clara County Machado Creek Vineyard Durif '17

Per winegrower, "from an area known for producing wine with a lot of bushberry character backed up by rustic, smoky, spice, and earthy complexities."

An old favorite, and ideal with turkey/dressing/etc. then pecan pie.

Loved this. Looks like a Jura Poulsard in the glass but sneaky body and tannins.
Very much in the infusion vs the extraction style.
 
21 Falkenstein Niedermenninger Herrenberg kabinett feinherb Herbert - really good
Mousse fils Rose effusion - meunière heavy, fruity, a bit of oak, it was better then I’m describing
21 Foillard Cote du Py - hold, not ready
Le Brun brut cidre de Bretagne - funky bretty cider
 
I had planned some Vouvray and a mag of '18 Clos de Roilette- Fleurie Cuvee Tardive, but we crushed a bottle of Clase Azul Reposado before dinner and that was pretty much that. Ended up just opening a '22 Hippolyte Reverdy- Sancerre and a '20 Donhoff- Oberhauser Leistenberg Riesling Kabinett. There was also a Gigondas one of my brothers-in-laws brought, but I don't recall it.
 
2007 and 2008 Ridge Mazzoni Home Ranch. This is the second year I’ve brought a Ridge mini-vertical. Last year, I brought 2004 and 2005 Ponzo Zin. Son-in-Law smokes a turkey on a Weber R2D2 (that’s what it looks like) so these wines are a good match.
